A Little Weight of You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your blue cup’s still beside the sink A pale ring drying where you drank I leave that cabinet half an inch Like you might reach for it again [Pre-Chorus] The hallway keeps its shape at night The floorboard gives beneath my heel I know the house is only wood Still every room remembers you [Chorus] You’re a ghost in the ordinary In the coat hook, in the chair Not a voice that calls me back Just the space you used to wear I can open every window I can let the morning through But the smallest things stay carrying A little weight of you [Verse 2] Your grocery list is on the fridge Three apples, soap, and something green I cross it out, then read it twice As if the ink could tell me when [Pre-Chorus] The hallway keeps its shape at night The floorboard gives beneath my heel I know the house is only wood Still every room remembers you [Chorus] You’re a ghost in the ordinary In the coat hook, in the chair Not a voice that calls me back Just the space you used to wear I can open every window I can let the morning through But the smallest things stay carrying A little weight of you [Bridge] Someday I’ll move the cup away And let the cabinet close Today I leave a little room For what I can’t let go [Final Chorus] You’re a ghost in the ordinary In the coat hook, in the chair Not a voice that calls me back Just the space you used to wear I can open every window I can let the morning through And the smallest things keep carrying A little weight of you [Outro] A little weight of you
